Clipping to Evernote in IOS.
I use the Evernote web clipper almost daily on my IPad or IPhone. Sadly, Evernote provides no instructions on how to set this up, nor even indicate it is possible.
It is a little complicated to set up. I have set this up in both Safari and Atomic Browser on IOS. Unfortunately, I cannot remember exactly how I did this. The hard part is getting the Java Script for the bookmark, because the “Drag this link to your tool bar” makes it impossible for a typical user to even copy the Java script. The easiest way to get the Java Script I can think of is to add the bookmatlet to your web browser on your computer, copy the text of the bookmark link to an Evernote (I think this will work, I haven’t tried it) or email it to yourself, copy that text to a bookmark link on your IOS Browser. I named my bookmark “E”.
Then to clip, the user would just select what they want and launch the bookmark. I prefer atomic since I can set it up like a bookmartlet. In IOS Safari I just use a regular bookmark.
Evernote could make this a lot easier by making the Javascript available on their web page as plain text, so the user just has to copy that java script into a bookmark they create on their device. It would make the process of getting the web clipper set up go from a feat of near impossibility to a couple of nuisance steps they could show in 30s video.
Evernote could do a much better job here. It is a failure on Evernote’s part that every IOS user is not able to install the bookmarklet, for lack of instructions and placing the existing bookmartlet source where a mortal user could actually copy it. Not even a line of code has to be changed!
